| If I were to just hear the description of a narcissict, I'd consider such a person to be completely uninteresting, off-putting, and overall someone who I'd want absolutely nothing to do with. BUUUTTTT.. my best friend/business partner has a lot of very narcissistic qualities. It's not to the point o... |

| I'm not really sure what to do other than to pray for some money for an Ipod so I can tune it out If your work computer has a CD-ROM drive and a sound card, why not just use that? Or buy a $10 portable CD player from Wal-Mart.. There's no need to suffer while you're saving up to buy an ipod! Just g... |

| Just last Summer, there was a banner that was hung up along the top of my local 7-11 that read, "I'm havin' an Eatwave!" I was very offended. Do I really have to explain why? Yes, please. Does it have something to do with the "h" being dropped, as is also the case with some British dialects? If so,... |

| Yes, that's exactly what it was really. That friend and I also happen to run a business together, so he realizes that intelligence and interest in my work are also some AS traits which happen to be very beneficial.

But after the 3rd or 4th time that all went away, and all I got out of it was the drunk, nauseous feeling and 2 days of diaharrea. Even after I didn't touch the stuff for 4 months and then did a bottle a... |
